[MNASIS-L] FW: Wiki, Blogs, RSS & Podcasts - July 13, 2005 - Byte of the Week

[Ann Treacy]

Thanks to everyone who came to the ASIST Speaker Series on Tuesday. Garrick
did a great job. As you'll see below I got a little extra mileage out of the
notes on his talk - but it was the best way to get myself to write up the
notes quickly.

 

Thanks!    Ann

Wikis, Blogs, Podcasts, RSS, and More

 

Last night I went to a great presentation by Garrick Van Buren to the
Minnesota chapter of the American Society of Information Science and
Technology. He was terrific! I am killing two birds today by writing up my
notes and sharing them with you and ASIST. So today's Byte is an annotated
bibliography of many of the resources Garrick mentioned on wikis, blogs,
RSS, and podcasts.

 

WordPress (http://wordpress.org/) - software to help you create/maintain a
blog. As their site says, they're "free, yet priceless."

 

Garrick's web site (http://www.garrickvanburen.com/) - includes links to
various blogs, wikis, and podcasts, including Garrick's podcast, First Crack
(http://firstcrackpodcast.com/)

 

Technoratti (http://www.technorati.com <http://www.technorati.com/> ) - a
search engines for blogs (aka the blogosphere)

 

Google Patent
(http://www.wwwcoder.com/main/parentid/285/site/5033/266/default.aspx) - we
mentioned this last night, this is my favorite article on the topic

 

Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net <http://audacity.sourceforge.net/>
) - open source audio recording for creating a podcast

 

Audio Hijack Pro (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/) upgraded
software for creating a podcast

 

Audioblogger (http://www.audioblogger.com/) - easy tool for creating
poscasts, much like blogger.com for blogs (http://www.blogger.com
<http://www.blogger.com/> )

 

WikkaWiki (http://wikka.jsnx.com <http://wikka.jsnx.com/> ) - software to
create a wiki (a wiki is akin to a shared blog)

 

MNspeak (http://www.mnspeak.com <http://www.mnspeak.com/> ) - operated by
City Pages, it looks like part blog, part wiki, part old fashioned web
conference

 

NetNewsWire (http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/) - an RSS reader - for info
consumers

 

Feedburner (http://www.feedburner.com <http://www.feedburner.com/> ) Helps
you generate and track an RSS feed that you have created - for info creators

 

Trackback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback) - this is the Wikipedia
definition of Trackback, a concept that allows and tracks posts among blogs
with a reduced chance for spam
